A musical adaptation from a classic '80s film awaits you this weekend, along with four other events that will tide you over until the kickoff of Super Bowl XLVII on Sunday.

1. 'Flash Dance: The Musical'

Alex Owens will dance the night away in her iconic shoulder sweatshirt and leggings, Friday through Sunday, in "Flashdance: The Musical" at the Dupont Theatre.

With electrifying dance at its core, "Flashdance: The Musical" tells the inspiring and unforgettable story of Owens, steel mill welder by day in Pittsburgh, Pa., and a bar dancer by night with dreams of becoming a professional performer. When romance with her steel mill boss threatens to complicate her ambitions, Owens learns the meaning of love and its power to fuel the pursuit of her dream.

"Flashdance: The Musical" is the stage adaptation of the 1983 hit film that defined a generation. Similar to the film, the production includes hit songs like "Maniac" and "Flash Dance – What a Feeling."

Brinley will be in attendance during tomorrow's reception. The exhibit ends Feb. 22.

Brinley's solo exhibition will showcase lovely paintings based on past experiences that convey ideas for viewers to relate to their own inspirations. The Wilmington artist — whose work has been featured in publications such as Time and Rolling Stone Magazine — combines these themes into paintings that feature domestic objects juxtaposed with characters that relate to — and are drawn from — his personal history and memories, which includes vintage books.
